On that day, Wall Street traders probably never imagined that something like this could happen. In just two weeks, the market completely flipped from “extreme fear” to a “risk-ignoring frenzy.”
This is, in my view, a textbook case of a classic squeeze scheme. From being oversold to being overbought, the pace of the move was on a level that rewrote the past several decades of financial history. Nasdaq rose for 11 consecutive trading days, surging nearly 15% in a short period. The S&P 500 reached a historic moment—breaking through the 7,000-point threshold for the first time and closing at 7022.

BTOG is dropping quite a bit. It started at $3.87 in the morning, but now it's fallen to $3.40. That's a decline of over 12% during the day, so it's a fairly significant move. Since it's a cryptocurrency-related stock, it probably reacts sensitively to market movements. In such cases, it might be necessary to observe whether there's some news or catalyst behind it, or if it's just selling pressure.

I've been thinking about something that's been on my mind lately. Who exactly is Satoshi Nakamoto, and what will happen to the Bitcoin he left behind?
Considering Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, he was active until around 2010, but then completely disappeared. Since then, the Bitcoin believed to be held by him has been treated as one of the largest single assets in the crypto asset market. In other words, Satoshi Nakamoto is a mysterious figure from Bitcoin's early days, and his asset holdings still have a significant impact on the overall market.
Two main possibilities pointed out b

There are reports that Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, has reached a net worth exceeding 130 billion dollars. Honestly, seeing this number really makes you feel it again.
Considering the amount of early Bitcoin held by Satoshi Nakamoto, it’s natural that, at the current BTC price, it would amount to this figure. With the recent strong performance of the BTC market, currently trading in the 77,000-dollar range, the size of that net worth is understandable.
What’s particularly interesting here is that the Bitcoin held by Satoshi has never moved. Despite experiencing multiple market cyc

It seems that NVIDIA's earnings have brought new optimism to the entire market. What I noticed from last week's announcement is that this earnings report is not just a sign of a healthy tech company, but also an important indicator of the overall health of the AI, cryptocurrency, and mining sectors.
First, the numbers. NVIDIA's revenue for the fourth quarter was $68.1 billion, a 73% increase year-over-year. The 75% growth in the data center business is truly impressive. And they issued a bullish guidance for the next quarter with projected revenue of $78 billion. This suggests that the expansi

Looking back at that crash, you can really see how fragile market predictions are. Do you remember October 2025, when Bitcoin suddenly dropped from its $100k peak? It fell close to $87,860 in just a few minutes, a rapid 10% plunge. Back then, it was truly chaotic.
The liquidation scale at that time was insane. Over $19 billion in positions were wiped out at once, and $500 billion disappeared from the entire market. The impact of Bitcoin's crash wasn't limited to just Bitcoin; it also dragged down the entire altcoin market.
But you know, what I find most interesting personally is how clearly th

Regarding long-term Bitcoin holding, some quite interesting data has emerged. According to analysis by Bitwise Europe, the conclusion is that the longer the holding period, the dramatically lower the risk of loss. Specifically, the probability of loss after holding for 3 years is only 0.70%, for 5 years it's 0.2%, and for 10 years it approaches almost 0%. This trend has been consistent from Bitcoin's price in January 2010 up to now.
In contrast, short-term trading is quite risky. Day trading has a 47.1% chance of ending in a loss, a 44.7% risk over one week, and a 43.2% chance over one month o

Over the past few months, a quiet but significant transformation has been occurring in the cryptocurrency industry. Looking at the series of moves initiated by Stripe, 2026 seems poised to be not just a market cycle, but a year that fundamentally redefines the digital economy.
There is a concept mentioned by Stripe co-founder John Collison called the "Machine Economy." This refers not to an extension of automation, but to a world where AI agents operate as independent economic entities, without waiting for human instructions. Their positioning of USDC and the Tempo blockchain as core infrastru

I found an interesting story. Currently, Anthropic's market capitalization exceeds $380 billion, but the story of its initial investment is truly complex.
In April 2022, SBF poured $500 million into Anthropic's B-Round. At that time, ChatGPT hadn't even been released yet, and attention to AI wasn't as high as it is now. That investment accounted for 86% of the total. If everything was legal, based on the current valuation, the 8% stake at that time would theoretically be worth over $30 billion. Because $500 million would become $30 billion, the return is over 60 times. One of the top profits i

Recently, I have been frequently contemplating the role of venture capital in the AI era. In particular, I have always wondered whether scalable platform-based VCs like a16z are truly shaping the future of the industry.
Then, after reading an article written by a16z's partner, I was quite convinced. Essentially, in the traditional VC industry, the old story that "scaling up loses the soul" was dominant. But the reality is now different. With software becoming the very fabric of the U.S. economy, the scale of capital and services that startups need has fundamentally changed.
You can see this in

What, the BSCScan API is being discontinued? I just recently found out, but the BNB Chain officially announced in December that they are switching to Etherscan API V2. Since there are probably quite a few developers relying on bscscan, I think this is a fairly significant change.
People using BSCScan's free services and enhanced endpoints will need to migrate to MegaNode's BSCTrace service to keep their apps running smoothly. Switching from bscscan might be a hassle, but it’s probably safer to handle it sooner rather than later.
Have the developers already taken care of this? If you have any i

The prediction market is going wild. Looking at last week's data, it seems the weekly trading volume exceeded 38 million transactions, setting a new record. On-chain analysis from Dune Analytics shows that the growth of this sector is nothing short of extraordinary.
Compared to the beginning of last year, trading volume has increased by over 130 times. What does this mean? It’s not just about numbers; it indicates that cryptocurrency users are seriously starting to participate in event predictions. Activity is expanding across all categories, including politics, sports, economic indicators, an

The reality facing the mining industry is far more ruthless than Bitcoin faith. The news that Bitdeer sold all of its more than 2,400 BTC holdings isn’t just a corporate management decision—it tells a story about what the entire industry is dealing with right now.
What’s interesting is that the company’s revenue for Q4 2025 reached $224.8 million, up 226% year over year. Its hashrate also increased by 229%, rising by 71.0 EH/s, and the efficiency of its mining equipment has improved significantly. Yet why would it sell all its BTC? The key to solving this contradiction lies in the nature of mi

I finally feel like I can see the essence of the business he’s been promoting.
When I read the 2016 *New Yorker* feature, I thought Sam Altman was just an executive at a tech company. He was the president of Y Combinator, and he had five sports cars, an escape bag, guns, potassium iodide, gas masks, and even land in California arranged. He was introduced as someone preparing for the end of the world.
A decade later, everything had changed completely. He became the person who most loudly warns about the end of the world—and at the same time the one who most actively pushes it forward. While cla

Recently, discussions about Ethereum's next upgrade have become more active. The core of the scheduled upgrade in late 2026 is EIP-7805, also known as FOCIL (Fork-Choice Enforced Inclusion Lists). This is an ambitious attempt to guarantee censorship resistance at the protocol level.
The current challenge for Ethereum is clear. A small number of advanced block builders control most of the transaction ordering. While efficient, this concentration creates a "bottleneck." Transactions related to regulated protocols like Tornado Cash could be significantly delayed if builders exclude them.
What FOC

There is a significant movement in the gold ETF $GLD. On Wednesday, $2.91 billion was withdrawn, which is said to be the largest in 10 years. Looking at Barchart's data, the numbers are quite prominent.
Gold ETFs are essentially funds that track the price of gold, but such large outflows suggest that investors' perceptions of gold are changing. Is the economic situation shifting? It seems traders are adjusting their positions.
Large capital movements like this reflect market sentiment, so it's worth paying close attention. It might be a sign of a major trend reversal.

Recently, the stock price movement of Ocro related to small modular reactors has been quite interesting. It surged sharply last fall, reportedly recording an increase of over 1,000% since the beginning of the year. Its market capitalization has also ballooned to over $25 billion, indicating high market expectations.
The reason Ocro's stock price is being driven up seems to be largely due to the rising demand for clean energy driven by AI needs and improvements in the regulatory environment. The company has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy and announced partnerships with Swedish c

The United States' cryptocurrency regulations are at a major crossroads. The fate of the CLARITY bill has become uncertain, but underlying this is a deep-rooted conflict between banks and crypto companies over stablecoin rewards.
Crypto companies aim to offer stablecoin rewards of around 3-4% to attract users. Meanwhile, the banking industry fears this could lead to up to $500 billion in deposit outflows, seriously impacting their lending capacity. Although the White House proposed a compromise to limit rewards to specific uses, it failed to gain support from banks, and negotiations have stall

I've noticed that Generation Z completely dominates P2P cryptocurrency payments. Recent survey data reveals quite interesting distribution patterns across different generations.
When reconsidering what P2P transactions are, it becomes clear that peer-to-peer cryptocurrency payments are more widely used by younger generations. Generation Z accounts for 72% of the total, compared to 24% for Millennials and just 4% for Generation X. This generational gap is quite significant.
Regionally, Asia leads overwhelmingly in P2P transactions with a 74% usage rate. Latin America follows with 62%, and Afric

Recently, more and more movements in the DeFi world have caught my attention. The depegging of stablecoins is happening one after another.
Complex stablecoins like xUSD and USDX are losing their pegs in quick succession. The fragility of decentralized stablecoins that rely on complex financial structures such as delta-neutral strategies has been exposed. Honestly, I think this is not just an isolated issue but a much bigger warning signal.
Major DeFi protocols like Euler, Compound, and Aave are starting to feel the stress. When a depeg occurs, collateral values plummet sharply, causing a chain
